Artemis II Congressional Gold Medal Act

This provision directs the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate to arrange for the presentation of a Congressional Gold Medal to each of the four crew members of the Artemis II Mission. This formal recognition is for their significant contributions to advancing human exploration of space to new heights, marking a national honor for their achievements.

This section mandates the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the gold medals authorized in the bill. The medals must feature suitable emblems, devices, and inscriptions, with a specific requirement that each medal depict the four-astronaut crew of the Artemis II Mission. This ensures the physical creation of the medals and their appropriate visual representation of the honorees.

This provision permits the Secretary of the Treasury to strike and sell bronze duplicates of the gold medals. The sale price for these duplicates must be sufficient to cover all associated costs, including labor, materials, dies, machinery use, and overhead expenses. Proceeds from the sale of these bronze duplicates are to be deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
